Behind The Lens

Location

Ginnie Springs, High Springs, Florida.

Time

12 noon

Lighting

I timed this shot around 12 noon in order to capture the powerful light beams penetrating the surface and dancing along the bottom.

Equipment

Canon rebel t3i, ikelite underwater housing, 8in dome, tokina 10-17mm fisheye lens.

Inspiration

The natural beauty to be found in Florida's freshwater springs is nearly unreal. I wish to share the beauty of my land with fellow photographers in hopes of inspiring conservation consciousness.

Editing

Very light touch up on the shadows. Other than that it is all natural.

In my camera bag

Canon 7D, Canon rebel t3i, tripod, monopod, extra batteries, set of filters CPL + ND, remote, steadycam

Feedback

Stay calm underwater and you may surprise yourself with what you are able to accomplish.
